"It is true that this team has an aggressive style of play, they are fighters," Deschamps told reporters.

"But this is the high level.

"Still, I do not want to and I have never said that this is a squad made only with fighters.

"This team is playing football. They have played the same system for two years now. Is it going to be the same tomorrow? I do not know.

"Anyway they usually play in 4-4-2 with two athletic main strikers with (Carlo) Costly and (Jerry) Bengtson. They play straight forward but as a collective, they know how to play and to defend all together.

Deschamps added: "I have seen that when they played England in their friendly game.

"As a collective they work well together, they work together and have players with great technique like the left-footed (Roger) Espinoza.

"I repeat, I spoke about those two strikers, they have also others players who can make the difference. It is not a team staying within 25 meters of its goal, thinking only about how to defend.

"Otherwise you wouldn't find them ranked 30th position (in the FIFA rankings)."
